4. Optimistically, making adjustments to the paralysis patient's position and posture in the early stages of neuro physiotherapy treatment can play a crucial role in avoiding joint deformities later on in the recovery process.
5.Utilizing verbal, visual, and other sensory techniques to boost brain activity for a specific purpose is known as a functional-oriented approach in neuro physiotherapy. It's all about engaging the Brain in a cheerful and purposeful manner.
7.Using a team approach to provide specific treatment for specific abnormalities of patients. Like speech therapists for speech , Disability counseling for Cognitive function .
8.In the initial stages of the Neuro physiotherapy treatment, we consistently emphasize the importance of active patient involvement during exercise sessions. This approach not only assists patients in developing self-confidence but also aids in mitigating the fear of falling.
